Who Have We Helped?

2013 Annual Report

Program Components:

A continuum of care was offered to clients of Interfaith Hospitality Network of Somerset County in 2013

through our Emergency Shelter Component, Sunrise House transitional living facility and the Phase 2 and Phase 3 Programs, our “Sound Minds” Program and Rapid Re-housing. Service objectives for each stage of care are as follows:

Sunrise House accommodates families who were previously in our Emergency Shelter, who have prepared themselves for independence but find themselves stalled by the search for permanent affordable housing. Individualized case management continues with a renewed focus on housing search, financial management and daily living skills.

Phase 2 offers 18 months of continuing case management and support to clients who have left our Emergency Shelter and/or Sunrise House for their own permanent housing. This fills an identified gap in services to support previously homeless families to prevent relapse(s) into homelessness.

Phase 3 provides permanent affordable housing with Section 8 rental assistance to previous clients of the Emergency Shelter. Case management is ongoing for these families. This program is a response to the long waiting lists for state rental assistance that can prevent families from moving to their own permanent housing.
